Cooperative Extension

Cooperative Extension (CE) is a nationwide network of land-grant university researchers and educators who solve problems in agriculture, the environment, and human and community well-being. For more than 100 years, CE has helped foster a connection between the university and the public.

The strength of CE is in delivering evidence- and science- based information to industry and the public and working with them to solve real-world concerns. University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) has farm, 4-H, nutrition, family and consumer sciences advisors based in more than 50 county offices throughout California.
